Hurricane Felix made history as the second Category 5 storm to reach the Caribbean coast this year, after Hurricane Dean. It has been reported that never before have two Category 5 Atlantic storms struck landfall in the same year, experts say.

Hurricane Felix struck land as Hurricane Henriette headed for the southern tip of Baja California in Mexico. The National Hurricane Center in Miami said its records taking back half a century show no other twin Atlantic and Pacific hurricanes making landfall on the same day.

Felix’s winds ripped off corrugated steel roofs, demolished wooden homes and two fishing boats with 45 people aboard remained lost at sea after issuing distress calls at the height of the storm, the authorities told La Prensa. The airport control tower collapsed in Puerto Cabezas, José Pérez, head of the national disaster agency, told Agence France-Presse.

We were recently reading (and, to be quite honest, laughing) articles touting weather modification, a topic discussed very often by conspiracy theorists. The technology of weather modification has been pushed by many of these theorists as ‘secret’ above-board projects of the largest governments, particularly that of the United States.

They say ‘Curiosity Kills the Cat’ and curiosity seems to be making our Cheshire cat a bit grim. We decided to research weather modification on the internet and we hope that our readers do the very same with subjects of very important and/or sensitive nature. It is also valuable to read various sources of information on one particular topic - this ensures a fairly clear picture of any event reported and serves to extract the ‘half truths, lies and innuendos’ which sometimes seem to deliberately permeate the media. Those who practice certain beliefs also seem to be particular clever in fooling the masses as well as themselves.

It is a fact that the human psyche, once highly interested in any subject whilst believing strongly in it or having an inclination to do so, will in fact interpret information in such a manner as to lend proof that their theories are sound. This further serves to solder their opinions and beliefs. We believe that it is only through the practice of constant discussion and exchange of information with others of differing opinions that humankind can become less ‘addictive’ to their own beliefs and opinions.

Our methods of researching a subject includes reading into various multi-lingual reports which is essential to a fuller understanding of any topic. This is so important that we almost wish that we were versed in various other languages as the inability to do so makes a huge amount of other information less accessible. The understanding of language and languages is also vital to a fair opinion on any topic - especially those covered on a worldwide basis and which deal with the subject of politics. For those who wish to search for topics that they are highly interested in and who would like to search for articles, new reports or essays on the subjects are advised to use the online translation services of the Google search engine as well as others such as Babelfish from AltaVista.

To stop this preamble and get to the point, it is assumed that Weather Modification, sometimes known as ‘Artificial Weather’, is not practiced today but is only a theory - most people are not even aware of the subject matter. In fact, it is practiced by many countries, and has existed since as early as 1917 whilst having seemingly died down or taken a back seat in the 1970’s. But in researching the topic, we found that the practice has been very alive and well. What may explain its ‘absence’ from the current limelight may be the fact that world governments, the US in particular, are party to agreements with other countries that forbids any participant country to further research and develop this kind of science or any particular science which may prove harmful to society. This is specifically for environmental, safety and security reasons of course.

Firstly, let us prove that artificial weather exists today and list our discoveries of its practices:.

1. Weather Modification Inc – Their site introduction: Weather modification is also commonly known as cloud seeding, cloud modification, atmospheric resource management, and precipitation management. Weather Modification, Inc. specializes and excels in all aspects of this water management technology. Specifically, we offer a complete range of services from turn-key operational programs for rainfall increase (rain enhancement), snow pack augmentation, hail damage mitigation (hail suppression), and fog clearing (fog dissipation), to technical assistance and/or technology transfer for all of these. In addition, we can provide complete weather radar services, including interfaces with TITAN full-sky radar data archival software, a complete line of proven and FAA-approved seeding equipment, seeding aircraft, atmospheric research instrumentation, and aircraft modification for these purposes.

5. Business Week - Rainmaking Has Its True Believers — And Skeptics - Weather modification isn’t just about giant storm systems. Rainmaking and hail prevention are considered established arts in some.

9. Weather modification program attempts to prevent all HAIL from breaking LOOSE - LAKIN - For more than 30 years, a single-minded and dedicated group of individuals has concentrated their efforts from April through September on controlling the weather in western Kansas. A new study indicates that work, done under the auspices of the Western Kansas Weather Modification Program, has made inroads in suppressing hailstorms, an ever-present threat for farmers and their crops.

Countries that practice weather modification and cloud seeding:

1. USA – Though funding has been halted by the government for the advancement of weather modification, private companies are free to sell business based on the technology - dozens of state, local, and private operations continue in 10 states, including California, Idaho, Nevada, and Utah. Vail Mountain in Colorado and many other ski resorts pay for cloud seeding, and Vail estimates that teasing more precipitation from clouds boosts its snow pack by 15%.
2. China – China has 35,000 people engaged in weather management, and it spends $40 million a year on alleviating droughts or stemming hail that would damage crops.
3. Russia - Russian officials claim to order up clear skies for Moscow’s May Day parade. It’s done by saturating clouds with dry ice, producing so many tiny droplets that drops can’t grow big enough to fall as rain — at least for a while.
4. Australia - Parliament of Australia Committee Activities (Background Paper “Harvesting the Skies”);
